    Trial Balance
    I am supposed to make up a company, its balance sheet, 25 journal entires, then do it's trial balance and all other financial statements. However, I can't get my trial balance to balance. Can anyone figure out why? I've been looking at it for hours and I can't find it. Thanks so much!

    Hey, just reading your question, try it the other way around...

    Do your trial balance first, then income statement and then balance sheet

    Do your journal entries after or just after your trial balance, the trial balance is done first to ensure there are no errors before starting final statements

    Sorry, I got a little confused with your trial balance. Since your beginning balances in the FS balance, then errors could have occurred either in posting your entries per account or in posting to the dr and cr sides of the trial balance.
